LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Opens in Toronto @LDCToronto

Last week my family was invited in for a sneak peek of the coveted LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, the first and only venue of it’s kind in Canada. Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto

There’s been a lot of buzz from Torontonians about the arrival of LEGOLAND, and as parents of three Lego obsessed fans, we were pretty excited to give them the chance to be one of the first kids to walk through the Lego-man shaped doors of LEGOLAND!

Our jaws dropped when we got our first look at the LEGO MINILAND, complete with famous Toronto (and Ontario) landmarks. I’ve been following the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Facebook page for awhile now, so I knew we were about to see some fun lego landmarks but I had no idea they would go to this extent! It was truly amazing, with working lights and vehicles that actually drove around the city streets. I think the adults were just as much, or even more, interested in this area since we could pick out buildings that we were familiar with! Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre, the ROM, Maid of the Mist and of course the CN Tower to name a few. See what other buildings you can spot below! [Read more...]

Monster Jam at Budweiser Gardens

This past weekend my family & I had the chance (thanks to Jennifer @ Mom vs the Boys) to attend Monster Jam at the Budweiser Gardens in London ON.  Wow, what an experience!  You could feel the excitement of the crowd even before we entered the building – so many little (and not so little) petro-heads.
Our seats were fabulous right behind the staging area of the trucks & right on top of the entrance tunnel to the rink.  The show started with all 6 trucks doing a lap around the arena – you’ve never experienced noise until you experience gazzion tonne trucks revving their monster engines in an enclosed space all at once.  

Periodically throughout the main event the organizers had side shows of 3 rounds quad races (Canada vs USA) and a dirt bike show.  Both were truly amazing.  Check these guys out:
 

Now let me introduce to you the contenders doing what they do best:

Times have changed.
